WHY AM I A JEWP

In less than one year my people will
enter the thirty-third century of its
separate existence as nation, and now
you ask me why am Jew Certes,
the reason must be strong, since the
same reason has animated my ances-
tors all these centuries.
Why am I Jew? Because in the
spring month of the year 2,44S A. NJ.
my fathers went forth from Egypt as
nation destined to march in the van of
human progress, called into existence
only for the mere purpose of leading, as
the first-born of God, his other children
of earth to him, the Father of all.
am a Jew because believe that the
Jew is a necessity to the world. am
a Jew because recognize the role Of
my nation to be that Of the servant of
God in ministering to mankind's great
est wants. 1 am Jew because l I'M
derstand and acknowledge that my
people has no other logical reason for
its existence on the stage of history, in
the face of tempests, changing scenes,
''wars, alarums, and excursions''-in
the face of all chronological law and his-
toric experience-except as that con-
sentative principle without which prog
ress becomes unreal and evanescent,
and civilization unstable North

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-07-09

on the first day of unleavened bread, the
disciples came 10 Jesus, saying, "Where
wilt thou that we make ready for thee
to eat the passover ?" Matt. XVI. 17).
Nearly the same words occur in Mark
xiv. IL Luke xii. Z.
There is in these passages reference
to the passover, the killing of the pas
chal lamb, etc., and the disciples are
said to have gone and made ready the
passover, on the first day of that festi-
val; and when the evening came, they
all reclined al the supper. Jesus ex-
presses great satisfaction, that he could
eat that passover with his disciples be-
fore he suffered. luke xii. 10y. And
yet DR.. Hanson and others would have
us believe that Jesus suffered before
the passover. L have .dwelt longer on
this point, because our author is not
alone in holding this theory.
If, from the foregoing, one should
infer that 1.-THE New Covenant" is as
full of errors as this chronology, it
would be sad mistake. Its comments
are generally excellent, and furnish as
good a defense of the doctrines of our
church, as can be found among all our
books. Aside from few words that are
badly rendered, the translation is good.
So with few bad exceptions. the har-
mony is correct.
DIR. Hanson has written some of our
best books, but his New Covenant" is
not one of them.

MYTHS OF OLD INDIA.

The Greeks accepted without hesita-
tion the tales that were told of men
without noses and with two orifces
above the mouth for the purpose of
breathing, which, it has been suggest
ed, may have been an unconscious carl
cature of the Mongols, says writer in
the Asiatic Quarterly Revie,o, referring
to the fables of old Greek historians.
The pigmies, only three spans in height,
who were warred upon by cranes and by
cartridges as large as geese, may have
been dwarfish race dwelling in woods
and at the foot of mountains who earn
ed a precarious livelihood as bowmen
and trappers. Bhotan people, whose
ears are enormously elongated by arti-
fetal means, may have been represented
as tribe whose ears reached to the
ground, and which were otherwise so
huge that their owners were able to coil
themselves up and go to sleep in them.
The swift runners who could run down
a horse might have found their anal
ogues within quite recent period, and
may perchance still find them in some
of the native States. The fable of the
gold-digging ant, large as wild foxes,
has been long since explained as refer
ring to Thibetan miners, men of low
stature who inhabit the mountainous
country to the north of Kashmir. The
animals mistaken for ants may very
well have been marmots, which are said
to be plentiful in those parts. AS for
the monstrous shapes which no traveller
pretends to have seen with his own
eyes, they existed no doubt in bright
colors on the inner walls of pagodas,
and were intended to depict the Rak-
shasas or demons, odious alike to men
and gods. Such was the probable origin
of the beings who were born without
mouths and lived on the aroma of fruits
and flowers; Of those whose feet were
turned the wrong way, the heels being
in front while the instep and toes were
behind; of those who bore the head of
a dog and were furnished with claws,
who lived by hunting and fowling, and
clothed themselves with the skins of
wild beasts; of those who had the ears
of dog, erect hair and shaggy breasts,
and with one eye in the center of the
forehead; finally of those without nos
trils, who devoured raw meat and all
manner of denominations, and died in
their youth, ungainly creatures with
the upper lip hanging over the lower.
OF no greater Importance are the marv-
elous animals, enormously delineated
rather than invented, such as serpents
with membranous wings, that flew by
night; horses with deers' heads sur
mounted by black horn, with legs
without joint, and with the tail of a
pig; tigers twice the size Of a lion; the
phoenix, sprung from the SUMS rays,
that lived its life of 5000 years in In
dia, and, singing its own dirge, died in
its nest of aromatic herbs hard by the
fountains of the Nile.

The library of the late HENRY
WARD BEEoHER is now stored in New
York, and will be sold at auction this
coming fall. 1t is large collection and
those who have examined it find that it
abounds in poetry, history, philosophy,
ethics and works on religious subjects.
There are numerous fat table-books fill
ed with engravings. Not few of these
are representations of stRtuary, both an
Gent and modern. There is a noticeable
absence of novels. Even his own produc-
ton, Norwood" has no place in the COL
lection. There are few Greek or Latin
books. The poetical works show signs
of usage. Singularly enough, although
there are several dictionaries, this cannot
be said OF them. There are Bibles and
hymn books by the score, many of them
bearing inscriptions to indicate that they
were presents from admirers or friends
The historical works form the greater
part OF the library and appear to have
beer often consulted.
